Any particular reason why you're removing the better of the two gametypes from the arena playlists?

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Wait, no more BTB Classic? Dammit, that was one of the reasons I actually played Matchmaking. So much fun on Spire.

Awesome update Urk. Thanks for all the info about matchmaking.

  • 10.02.2010 6:16 AM PDT

it will be an awesome update if the ranks get higher......if not it will suck cuz there is no point doing all this stuff if you cant get credits to rank up and unloack amazing armour.

you should just post the sound test video on xbox, maybe through halo waypoint or something.

IIIIIII

I'm a little disappointed that Infection isn't being removed from Rumble Pit.

  • 10.02.2010 9:08 AM PDT

HALO REACH ROCKS!!

wtf bungie i only did the glitch once and u reset my rank if someone finds the glitch you are not supposed to reset there rank u were supposed to find the glitch before it happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally!

Counter Strike FY Map Pack --> in my file share

That said, we've got several us-yet-unveiled programs in the works to aid us in our quest and we'll be making a lot of noise about all of them soon. We've already pushed one community map variant through several phases of our internal gut checks and test passes, and it looks like you'll actually be playing on some sweet community maps before the year is out

Best news ever! We needed a better streamlined system so the community can submit maps to matchmaking. So these testing programs, is there any kind of feedback loop to provide the mapmaker helpful information about the map they submitted, particularly if the map failed the tests? I would want to know why the map failed and what must be done in order to fix it.

Carter Bungie gets lazy at times. Instead of fixing the glitch they'll rather ban people like you. Having no clue how long it takes to get to a high rank. Now there trying to take all methods of fast credits away including grunt apocalypses. This is supposed to be their genius plan of what. Playing countless hours of halo and turning us into no lifers.

No team snipers? disappointed face

Airborne.

But I liked SWAT on Hemorrhage. :(

  • 10.02.2010 10:38 AM PDT

Airborne.

Agreed no Team Snipers play list is a sad thing to see.

Ok Bungie.

Glad to hear you're getting rid of Boardwalk in Arena Doubles. I don't really have a problem with the map, it's just that you spawn two rockets and two snipers on the same map. So it just turns into rockets and snipers. If that's what you were going for then good job. Mission accomplished.

Why on earth would you remove the "pro" game types from team arena? I understand that you want more 12 year olds to exploit the armor lock ability, but shouldn't we at least have get to vote on the matter. I love the way that playing any part of halo reach counts towards my overall rank. And when I figured out that arena was for those who wanted a ranking system that was based on skill I was as giddy as a school girl. But now you're saying that I don't even have a choice to play a more serious version of slayer. What are you thinking?

Lastly, you're turning donw the allotted Cr for gruntpocalypse. I really don't care. I usually only play it to get the corresponding daily challenges, but lets do some critical thinking here. You want to reduce the rate at witch we acrew Cr. Even though if we spend tedious hours playing this wonderfull game, the exact way you wanted us to, we're still going to hit a temporary level cap. Why? Arena and the multi-platform leveling system are the best things about this game. Are you waiting until we start to lose interest to release the level cap, expecting us to come running back into your embracing arms with tears of gratitude welling up in our eyes? Do you think this is some clever scheme you've created to keep us comming back to your game? It's not... It's dumb.

B Jenks

Is there a rank cap and when will it be lifted? if you reach the maximum rank before the cap is off do the credits you earn count toward your next rank or do they just go to your armory and not count for the next rank at all?

I don't really understand why the Pro variant is being removed from Arena. What are going to be the options now?

Surely the voting data says that the "pro" variant is chosen 90% of the time, rarely do I have to endure a "slayer DMRs" match... Why take away something that people would prefer to play?

think you could make a playllist called DOGFIGHT???? where you fight in space with serabs,banshees,and sabres i think it be a good add on
